Eagle and Eaglets Bank - Made by the J. & E. Stevens Company. Cromwell, Connecticut - Circa 1880's. To emphasize the patriotic nature of this bank, Stevens cleverly marketed it as the American Eagle Bank. Place a penny in the eagle's spring-loaded beak and press the snake shaped lever found behind her tail feathers. Witness as she leans forward, majestically spreading her wings. Her chicks rise up to meet her as she drops the coin into their nest. Condition: Pristine Plus Condition with Original Box.
